duncan_nzoh, for crying out loud. I can dance naked if you want just be specific about what you would like me to do. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WikiTeam doesn't explain.12:05
LaserJockduncan_nz: go the the wikiteam LP page and click on "Join Team"12:05
LaserJockit's not hard ;-)12:05
duncan_nzno it's not, but everywhere I look is clutter sorrounding the thing I'm looking for...12:06
duncan_nzLaserJock: I'm now officially pending. Thanks for putting up with my whinging.12:07
LaserJockyeah, LP takes a little getting used to12:07
Madpilotyeah, LP has a bit of UI trouble sometimes12:07
LaserJockthey have really improved some UI stuff for devs recently. I know they're working hard on it12:08
duncan_nzBurgundavia: is that you editing the WikiTeam page? Thanks.12:08
Madpilotcompared to Bugzilla, LP's bug reporting setup is brilliant (but stock Bugzilla is a giant mess, so any improvement would be dramatic...)12:08
Madpilotanyway, must go out. See you all in a bit.12:09
duncan_nzI've got to go too, see you all another time.12:09
Burgundaviayep12:10
naliothwell, what a meeting12:10
LaserJockfor sure ;-)12:11
BurgundaviaLaserJock: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/36502 <-- when do you get this error?12:13

LaserJockBurgundavia: hmm, I don't really have access to inkscape at the moment12:15
LaserJockBurgundavia: I'm CLI only right now12:15
LaserJockwell, that was an interesting meeting12:15
LaserJockNaaman didn't make is own meeting :(12:15
BurgundaviaLaserJock: no, the error he got when he tried to get the build-deps12:16
LaserJockdoh, didn't look close enough12:16
Burgundaviahttp://digg.com/linux_unix/Ubuntu_Flight6_(alpha)_Here <- ahh, bloody digg12:17
LaserJockBurgundavia: that build-dep thing looks like he wasn't using sudo or he was using another package manager (which has the apt lock)12:18
LaserJockBurgundavia: works fine for me here12:18
BurgundaviaLaserJock: that is what I thought12:18
LaserJockI'm really starting to think that moving to a MediaWiki on doc.ubuntu.com would be the way to go12:22
Burgundaviaheh12:23
Burgundaviait would be help.ubuntu.com12:23
LaserJockwell, whatever ;-)12:23
Burgundaviaah, that is why 3D stuff sucks balls. Currently I do not have direct rendering enabled12:26

LaserJockthat is weird but encouraging12:57

Madpilothi03:39
LaserJockhi Gaerik 03:40
GaerikI don't want to be offtopic and bother anyone but I was trying to use the Disks Manager to format a partition and was having trouble.  When I tried to use the Helpfiles, they weren't there, so I figured I'd try to find help on IRC.03:40
GaerikI've had Ubuntu for all of 2 days and really like it at this point but I've got 18GB of hd space I need formatted and can't do it. :-)03:41
MadpilotGaerik, for general help, #ubuntu is your best bet03:42
GaerikOkay...  I popped in there but with 650 people it was hard to find help.  Is there a protocol for getting help there or is is just throw the question out and see if someone bites?03:43
Kamping_KaiserGaerik: throuw out the question, just don't start with "i have a question"03:44
GaerikHeh... okay.  Thanks.  I'm new but I'll figure it out. 03:44

trappistThere's something wrong with this sentence but I'm not familiar enough with bind to correct it: "the zone sections defines a master server, and it is stored in a file mentioned against file tag."05:11
Kamping_Kaiserwhere can i ask for help with wiki syntax? i tried using [br]  to start new lines, but it always displays "[br] " rather then make the line break05:58
trappisthttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpOnFormatting05:59
trappistI think it's [[BR] ] 05:59
Kamping_Kaiserthanks. I'll try it out06:00
LaserJockhi robotgeek 06:11
Kamping_Kaisertrappist: that fixed me up. thanks06:11

robotgeekhey LaserJock 06:55
robotgeeksorry, got distracted away from computer :)06:55
Madpilottrappist, for your "zone sections" line - shouldn't it be "the zone sections define..." rather than "defines"?07:25
trappistMadpilot: yeah, now that you mention it, but I was actually asking about the 2nd part of the sentence08:16
=== Burgundavia [n=corey@S0106000fb085cc63.gv.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc
Madpilottrappist, the "file tag" part? I know zip about bind, was just wondering about the grammar...08:17

=== Kyral [n=kyral@ubuntu/member/kyral] has joined #ubuntu-doc
trappistMadpilot: I mean "stored in a file mentioned against a file tag".  I dunno what it's supposed to mean, but I suspect it's not quite right.08:29
MadpilotI've got no idea what it's supposed to mean either - but you're right, it doesn't seem to make sense...08:30

LaserJockhmm, not sure09:35
robitaillethe yelp thing?09:36
LaserJockyeah, it crashes09:37
robitaillehumm...it doesn't crash for me, but no documents are displayed...and I have some I/O warning in the terminal09:38
robitaille/var/log/scrollkeeper.log:  Permission denied09:38
LaserJockhmm, I'm not getting that exactly09:39
robitaillethe only thing I see in the yelp window is "Help Topics"; nothing else09:40

LaserJockactually maybe it would be better to just give a wget command10:15
Madpilotwhat for?10:15
robitailleLaserJock:  malone 34384    is that your problem?10:19

joachim-ndo you know if the 2.14.1 version of the gnome docs will go into Dapper?11:02
Burgundaviajoachim-n: I believe so11:04
Burgundavia2.14.1 is going into dapper in general11:05
Madpilotwe do ship the upstream docs, so the gnome docs will be in Dapper somewhere11:05
joachim-ncool11:06
joachim-nI'm thinking about adding a general 'Contributing to GNOME' section to the GNOME User Guide11:06
Madpilotyou'd want to talk to Gnome's own docteam about that, I guess - we're just Ubuntu's doc monkeys11:07
